4generation test at 31/2 months

[john2011]

I had unprotected varginal,anal and oral sex with CWS in Thailand 3 and half months ago. We have a deep kissing as well. I had ARS symptons such like rash, joint pain, sore throat, stomach pain and diarrhea after 11/2 month post exposure. I am still expericing this till today. I took 4th generation(antibody&P24) test at 31/2 post exposure and it came back negative.

a) As i know, antigen p24 is not able to detect a hiv virus after a month post exposure. So, my question is can i still believe i'm negtive? Will the 4th generation as accurate as 3rd generation antibody at 31/2 months post exposure?

b) Shall I retest at 6 months because some website is still insist to retest at 6 months? Please do not get angry for my stupid qeustion because i am still suffering for there ARS symptom (mild body/joint ache, stomach pain and lost stool, throat pain and some rash on my chest, stomach and my back. Some healed rash turned to brownish/dark color.


Please.....please...please....am very tense and struggling now..................

No HCV will not delay the seroconversion. You don't have HIV.

[john2011]

I had checked for hep A & B and both turned out negative. havn't checked for hep C. My question is will hep c delays sero more tha 3 months???

last question, will ARS symptom last for so long? start 11/2months and on and off till 31/2 months?

thank

Then you don't have an immune disease that would call for you to test longer than 3 months. You are conclusively negative.

[john2011]

No. I never diagnose before and admitted hospital not more than 1 time in a year. But I'm easy getting sick and feel fatigue and tire sometimes

[Teak]

Have you been diagnosed with an immue disease and in the hospital most of the time throughout the year?

[john2011]

My question is

If I have severe immue system, can i still rely on my 31/2 months result????

thank

[Teak]

You aren't having ARS symptoms with a conclusive test result.

[john2011]

I need your assessment

Really need your assessment. How accurate is 4th generation at 31/2 months while I have bad immue system and ARS symptons?

3 months is 100% conclusive and has been since 2004.

[garyjames0190]

A test at 3.5 months is 99.6% conclusive. A test at 6 months is 99.9% conclusive. If you test negative at 3 months you are fine if you are a healthy individual. Unless you have some other diseases that could affect your immune system, it would be conclusive at 3 months. Test again at 6 if you are still concerned. Most people should show results within 4-6 weeks according to the CDC. No need to worry.

[Teak]

Your test is conclusive.

[john2011]

Please answer this question

I'm not so healty person. I think i have bad immue system. Does it effect my test result?

[Teak]

Has nothing to do with HIV. See your doctor if you are concerned about your weight loss.

Forgot to mentioned, I lost 5kg from the diarrhea.

4th generation tests are combos. They test for Ag and Ab and you have a conclusive test result at 3.5 months and do not need further testing.
